Tea tree oil is the best treatment for head lice!

My 10 year old son contracted a bad case of head lice from school. I was worried about exposing him to pesticides so I was looking for a natural way to get rid of those mites. I learned about tea tree oil and thought I'd would try it. I applied a tea tree oil shampoo directly onto his scalp and wrapped saran wrap around his head. I kept his head wrapped for about an hour and then I rinsed out his head and applied a tea tree oil hair conditioner. The lice were already dying when I washed his hair so I used a nit-comb to help remove the remaining lice. I repeated this process the next day and my son's hair is now completely free of lice. Tea tree oil worked great for me.
